Beane occasionally bringing up the “video games” perspective irks me a bit. Maybe he’s trying to help with an analogy to the common fan but it to me seems like a superiority complex
@AaronMichael228 I’m just not gonna argue with you and I’d rather you didn’t try to get one from me. I felt a little bad about yesterday. That’s mostly what I’m trying to say. The rest is wondering how you can enjoy what you do on this app.
@AaronMichael228 There’s a hint of it. Enough that I’m annoyed by it and by you. I jumped into your conversation yesterday, sure. But your comment just now resonated in a way that you’ve been doing to others. Again, relax. Don’t bring that here.
What exactly happened was
Buffalo sped up the tempo in the second half, keeping less blockers in, creating more targets, and Josh started getting rid of the ball quicker. This forced Minnesota to start assigning more coverage which opened up the line for Cook. A far more balanced attack let Josh be Josh. And Cook be Cook. Should they have done that from the beginning? Yes. But great teams not only have great schemes, they are able to adjust the scheme when it's not working. And that's what exactly happened.
